Join us for our fall production of Mary Chase’s classic, Harvey!!
Last produced by CTP in 2008, we are proud to offer this nostalgic treat for our 35th anniversary!
Harvey is the story of a perfect gentleman, Elwood P. Dowd, and his best friend, Harvey — a pooka, who is a six-foot tall invisible rabbit. When Elwood begins introducing Harvey around town, many begin to consider that he is insane, but he may be wiser than anyone knows.
Catch this American classic October 25-26 and November 1-2 at 7:30 pm and October 27th at 4pm at:
Community Presbyterian Church of Ben Avon

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow plunges us into spooky 1820s New England and a world of creativity, imagination, and the supernatural. Written by Washington Irving and adapted by Libby Larsen, this great old story is rich in contemporary themes like romance, greed, humor, and ambition. Join our cast as they bring this tale to life on the small screen.
I’ll Leave IT to You
Noel Coward’s I’ll Leave It To You is a delightful, frothy comedy of half-truths and hard work brought to life on the small screen by our equally delightful and frothy cast! The work was adapted and directed by Mace Porac. The show is free and runs about an hour.
A Woman of No Importance
A dramatic reading of Oscar Wilde’s “A Woman of No Importance” (abridged). Adapted for the small screens and directed by Mace Porac, “A Woman of No Importance” challenges our ideas of propriety, marriage, loyalty, love and politics. From witty banter to a suspenseful dramatic reveal, this has something for everyone. Join our cast as they bring this production to life on the small screen.
An Ideal Husband
A dramatic reading of Oscar Wilde’s “An Ideal Husband” (abridged). Adapted for the small screens and directed by Mace Porac, “An Ideal Husband” highlights love, marriage, mystery, and intrigue. From political aspirations to romantic notions, this production has something for everyone. Join our cast as they bring this witty production to life on the small screen.
Community Theatre Players is an organization that seeks to give interested persons the opportunity to participate in the staging and performance of plays and to offer the community at large quality theater productions on a regular basis.
We have been staging productions in Ben Avon since 1989. Currently, we produce one major play in the fall and several smaller events throughout the year.
We are always looking for people to work at all levels of production, including actors, set constructors, painters, decorators, costumers, stage crew, lighting, sound, ushers, and many other roles. If you are interested, or would like to be included on our mailing list for future productions or auditions, please contact us at ctp@bactp.com or visit our Get Involved page.
